Snippets of my new extended LP (about ten hours long).

Ambient meditative music made from random synth tones and random note progressions, improvised then slowed down.

I wanted to explore randomness and control on this piece. Also, I wanted to make a really long album. All these old tunes from electronic artists surfacing, suddenly hours and hours of stuff to listen to, I felt I was getting an idea of a period of time and personality beyond the tracks themselves.. Generalizing the listening.. And there was that nostalgia of the ambient bits on old rave.. (The strings on sweet harmony!..) and i got deep into the the new weird ambient stuff only released on tape - digitalis stuff, analog concept, gorman, emuul, celer, 0pn, mark mcguire..

There was this program on an old coldcut album called playtime, it cut up the samples and automated the music then you could fiddle with these faders and change it but it was never clear what they did exactly. I spent hours on that, I can't get it working now as I haven't got Windows 95 anymore (not that there's much difference). I do some data management and colleagues are often dumbfounded when my computer is doing work on it's own - i set up mouse recorders for repetitive tasks.. then let it get on with it. When i was a kid i liked listening to 45s on 33 and vice versa.. there was an old Bukem release that i swore was downtempo that turned out to be DnB and then getting back into the slowdowns with the chopped n screwed stuff..All these things were percolating with what I wanted to do here.

So I did a quick formula on excel to give me a random sequence of 4 notes and another to tell me how many note progressions will be in each track. Then i searched for a synth plugin that had a randomize function and used the first one i found (acidrack). So, the notes i play and the sound is pretty random*.

But then I do have an element of control - i play the notes and can change the volume. However, there's a reciprocity because i'm improvising the music and this is based on how the notes sound together, the reverberations in and between the notes, how i feel at the time, and I play for as long as I feel like.

Also, I've got the choice.. i mean, i've given myself the choice, of whether to play the different note progressions in the same tone or press random again.. so if it's a harsh tone I can do an additional one (as long as excel said i was allowed to). Of course it might give me an even harsher tone and the note sequence doesnt go, but it was a risk i was willing to take. In addition, i found that acidrack doesnt randomize the octave selector or the lfo2/arpeggiate selector so i was allowed to choose those too.

Then to randomize it further I stretched the track to 30 minutes long. This also hopefully made it sound more ambient (control) and meant that each track could be seen as an album in it's own right. i like that fractal recursion idea of an album made up of a load of albums. Of course, i got better at learning how the track would sound slowed down by how long I played for in the first place.. control control control.

If I didnt like how the track sounded after all this I overdubbed with a different pitch, re-amped with self-feedback generating digital guitar fx, or just tried to accept it. I never discarded a track.
